Thanks for your reply.
You are absolutely right, at this point i did not read the wiki pages carfully enough and got fooled by the pictures shown black spacers there.
After using the mentioned white ones it fits fine.
So far i realized no problems caused by the one loose bearing or the axially space. All walls printed pretty straight and after playing around with different start/main temperatures most of the other small problems are solved.

I had all white spacers for the controller. The length was correct. Are you sure you don't have some white ones somewhere? Or maybe the black and white ones you have should be swapped. Stuff like this seems to get revised quite often in the kit.
>One bearing hole was lasered to big, it moves in all directions
Obviously, bearings should not move radially. A pressure fit of the linear bearings in the hot end should locate and hold them radially.
>Nearly all x&y shafts could be shifted some 0,x mm if i push them manualy. Is that fine or should they be tightly fixed?
If they move axially, like this, they might start to move under operation, which results in pulley alignment deviations (and perhaps ticking sounds, which is often the result of pulley misalignment). I printed thin, round plastic spacers and installed them under the caps--with the shiny, low friction side toward the axes. You can sand the other side (might be difficult w/ PLA but my spacers are ABS) to get a custom spacer. Or just experiment with printing a variety of thicknesses.
